INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The Indian agrochemicals industry is the fourth largest globally with estimates of its size going up to US $ 4
billion – almost 40-50% of production being exported. India has over 400 million acres of land under cultivation
and an estimated 60% of its population is largely dependent on agriculture directly and indirectly. It has only 2%
of the world’s land mass but supports 16% of the world population. India is one of the leading producers of food
grains and agriculture produce. It is among the world leaders in producing rice, wheat, cotton, fruits, vegetables,
sugarcane, tea, milk and spices. Food shortages, rising food prices, increasing food demand fuelled by increasing
population, stagnant land area under cultivation, growing concern for food security and the recently introduced
food security law in India underline the importance of food crop production Agrochemicals play an immensely
important role in farming and food security
The industry comprises of insecticides, weedicides, fungicides, plant growth promoters and regulators, fumigants
and rodenticides as the major product segments
The industry is highly competitive, dynamic and fragmented It operates both in the organized and unorganized
sectors
The industry comprises of diverse players ranging from small and medium ones dealing in generic molecules to
large multinationals with high-priced new generation and patented molecules..
The industry has players who manufacture only technical grade pesticides as well as those who are pure
formulators. It also has some balanced players who produce both - technical grade pesticides and their
formulations. Some players also manufacture intermediates for technical grade pesticides.
Among the agrochemicals, insecticides have dominated consumption pattern in India However, their share is
steadily declining over the years owing to a variety of reasons For the past few years consumption of weedicides
and fungicides is increasing Shortage and increasing cost of farm labour and the cost-effectiveness of chemical
weedicides in weed control is leading to increasing demand for weedicides. Growth of horticulture owing to
increasing demand for good quality fruits and vegetables and growing export of fruits and vegetables are giving
rise to higher demand for fungicides Of late, bio-pesticides are gaining popularity and their demand is increasing
owing to environmental safety, low toxicity, lower chance of resistance development and non-polluting
production process The Company has made foray in this area Cotton and rice account for over 50% of pesticides
consumption in India Wheat, soyabean, oilseeds, pulses, plantation crops, fruits and vegetables are the other
major consumers of agrochemicals Lately, owing to increasing awareness and better commodity prices, farmers
are showing willingness to try new, better quality and expensive pesticides The shift is towards low dosage,
more effective and better quality pesticides However, generic pesticides continue to be the mainstay of
pesticides usage
The fortunes of the agrochemicals industry are interwoven with those of agriculture. The relatively slow pace of
agricultural growth in India in the past few decades is reflected in the industry growth. Low manufacturing costs
and the ability and expertise in efficient handling of toxic and hazardous products and processes has made the
Indian industry one of the large exporters. India is the thirteenth largest exporter of agrochemicals in the world
The Indian industry has built large capacities much beyond the domestic needs. Exports account for almost 40-
50% of the industry production. Domestic market has been attracting multinationals due to good growth
opportunity. The domestic segment has been witness to a steady increase in market acceptance of new
generation and patented molecules
The agrochemical industry is highly regulated both domestically and internationally. The regulatory framework
poses entry barrier to various geographical markets and necessitates large investments in research, data
generation and product registration and involves long gestation from conceptualization to actual launch of a new
product The R & D costs for development of products and processes are high in the industry.
Supply of high quality products at competitive prices, development of new products and innovative formulations
and investment in research, data generation and product registration are emerging as key success factors.
Opportunities and Threats:
Agriculture is the mainstay of the Indian rural economy and supports over two-thirds of the country’s population
Agriculture continues to receive governmental support in the form of favourable agriculture policies, minimum
support price for major farm produce, subsidies, developmental programmes and schemes and availability of low
cost credit and finance through various schemes. With attractive minimum support/open market prices for
several crops, farmers can afford to spend on quality farm inputs.
Private sector also visualises good growth potential for investment in agriculture and agro-based businesses.
Rapidly developing food processing industry is helping in a large measure the growth of the farming sector
Steady growth of the rural economy is another factor attracting the private sector to rural areas in general and to
agriculture in particular
According to one industry estimate, India suffers about 30% crop losses owing to pests It is important to prevent
or reduce such losses Agrochemicals play a vital role in preservation of crops, growth of agriculture and
ensuring food security With the recent introduction of food security law in India, agriculture has come under
fresh focus This augurs well for agri input industries. With large food grain stocks being carried by the
government agencies and the food processing industry, the importance of and the demand for ‘post-harvest crop
protection chemicals’ is rising Several countries, including India, lose large foodgrain stocks owing to inefficient
food grain storage practices Post-harvest crop protection products like fumigants and rodenticides play a vital
role in food grain preservation This product segment has been showing good growth in the past several years
The Company is one of the few players in this business segment.
One expert estimate states that only 35-40% of the cultivated land in India is under crop protection Pesticides
consumption in
India is very low by the world consumption standards and offers scope for increasing it by educating farmers on
safe, appropriate and judicious use of agrochemicals. There is a need to bring awareness among the farmers
about optimal use of agro chemicals along with bio-pesticides, agrochemicals application techniques and the
pitfalls of over-dosages of agrochemicals with a view to achieve higher yields, better crop quality and desirable
cropping patterns and farming practices to ensure sustainability Changing cropping patterns and farm practices
also offer growth opportunity to the industry. Amongst the States also there are large disparities in per acre
pesticide consumption. Growing population points to growth of agri inputs including crop protection products
All these factors underline the growth potential for agrochemicals in the domestic market Genetically modified
(GM) cotton crop dominates the cotton acreage in India and new improved GM cotton varieties are being
introduced at regular intervals GM cotton has opened up opportunity for growth of weedicides and soil nutrition
products Similarly, increasing usage of hybrid and high value seeds is giving rise to demand for high quality and
high value agrochemicals Growth of horticulture, which is highly remunerative to the farmers, is also fuelling
growth of agrochemicals, especially fungicides and other high priced products
